S3Ep2: How Does Mind Work? (w/ Fran Müller) An Unqualified Guide To The Good Life podcast

In this episode, Nic and Adam are joined by Franziska Müller for a discussion of how the mind works in more biological terms.

Fran shares her wisdom on everything from her own research into neuroregeneration, to the parts of the brain you might remember from school, to whether the computer is an appropriate model for the mind.

It was wonderful to talk to her, and you should follow her puppy's instagram (@alfie_in_london).

Fran also provided these useful links for further reading!
